Hi John,

Pse update us if Hari advice did work? I think my problem is somewhat similar and related as too recently upgraded my KDE desktop (ontop of a Gnome install) and now dont even get a login screen and AlT-CTRL-F1 doesnt work. But can login via the ssh. . .LOL!

So let us know ...as I dont want to hijack your thread..;-).

Regards

        I have also realized that at the login screen (GUI),
        1. user (user) fails to login but does in the terminal
        2. jmuyimba (administrator) logs in with any passwd (am
        wondering why)
        3. m4duser (administrator) logs in at the terminal



    I suggest you purge and re-install gdm.

    $ sudo apt-get install gdm --reinstall --purge

I haven't succeeded. He suggested that I purge and re-install gdm.
using....
$ sudo apt-get install gdm --reinstall --purge

But any attempt to supply any passwd from any user has failed to execute the above line.

Am anxiously waiting for solutions.
